Gated hillside estate surrounded by protected forest land just minutes from downtown.

 Just six miles from downtown Portland, a private gated estate rises quietly above the trees at the edge of Forest Park.
Surrounded by protected conservancy land and set on nearly half an acre, the home feels worlds away from the city while remaining moments from its cultural core.
Mediterranean-inspired architecture, expansive terraces, and warm natural materials create a residence that blends seamlessly into the surrounding hillside.
Inside, more than 10,000 square feet of light-filled living space unfolds across three levels, designed for both grand entertaining and quiet retreat.
Here, life moves at a different pace—suspended between forest canopy, open sky, and distant mountain views.

A Home Designed for Gathering

A covered entry leads into a dramatic double-height foyer, where sunlight pours through upper windows and a sweeping staircase anchors the home’s central hall.

Rich hardwood floors guide you toward the main living spaces, where scale and warmth balance beautifully. At the heart of the home, a chef’s kitchen invites connection and conversation. Designed for both daily life and entertaining, it features Sub-Zero refrigeration, a gas cooktop, double ovens, a wine cooler, and a generous walk-in pantry. A large central island becomes a natural place to gather—whether for morning coffee or evening preparation for a dinner with friends.

Nearby, the formal living and dining rooms unfold with quiet elegance. Soaring ceilings, custom built-ins, and French doors create a seamless transition to the expansive upper deck, allowing indoor and outdoor spaces to flow effortlessly together.

Additional spaces on the main level provide flexibility for work, relaxation, and daily rhythm:

• A beautifully detailed office or library with custom woodwork
• A cozy media room perfect for movie nights
• A stylish powder room for guests
• Two staircases connecting all levels of the home
• Mudroom access to an oversized two-car garage, with an additional two-car garage below

A discreet secondary entrance to the left of the main door offers both convenience and privacy.

Private Spaces | Restful Retreats Above the Trees

Upstairs, the primary suite occupies its own private wing, offering elevated views across treetops and sky. Mornings begin with soft natural light filtering through the forest canopy, while evenings end on the private balcony overlooking the quiet hillside.

The primary bath is spa-like in scale, centered around a freestanding soaking tub and complemented by dual vanities, a steam shower, and a spacious walk-in closet with custom built-ins.

Additional bedrooms on the upper level are equally serene, each designed with high ceilings, abundant natural light, and access to either en-suite or adjacent bathrooms.

On the main floor, a private guest suite with a full bath provides comfort and accessibility for visitors or multi-generational living. A second main-level bedroom offers flexible use as a home office, nursery, or creative studio.PRIVATE SPACES | RESTFUL RETREATS ON EVERY LEVEL

BONUS SPACES | DESIGNED TO ADAPT AND INSPIRE

The finished lower level expands the home’s possibilities even further. With full-height ceilings, generous windows, and direct access to the lower deck and gardens, the space feels bright, open, and welcoming.

Here, the layout easily adapts to a variety of lifestyles:

• A full secondary kitchen and bathroom
• A spacious bonus room ideal for a home theater, gym, or recreation space
• Additional bedrooms or guest quarters
• New plush wall-to-wall carpet
• A private entrance, ideal for an au pair suite, long-term guests, or ADU-style living

Both the upper and lower levels open onto expansive decks that span the length of the home—creating effortless indoor-outdoor living and capturing the surrounding views.

Outdoor living | WHERE NATURE MEETS ELEGANCE

Outside, terraced gardens and winding stone paths create quiet places to sit, wander, and enjoy the landscape. Native plantings provide beauty throughout the seasons while maintaining a low-maintenance environment that blends seamlessly into the surrounding forest.

Two expansive decks extend the home outward into the landscape—perfect for sunrise coffee, afternoon gatherings, or evenings spent beneath the stars.

From this elevated vantage point, views stretch across forest canopy toward mountains and, on clear days, glimpses of the river beyond.

It is a setting that feels suspended between earth and sky—private, peaceful, and deeply connected to nature.

a poem for the home |

we always have words for love

some are sighs, breath of no form

at the start, arms open

step into a yes of place

forest of whole mistletoe

birds uplift, the best is with

arch doors open of love

where joy is ground

gaze a bell, give eyes

if the universe does intervene,

it is to help us love each other

in blue warm air

ridge trail wild contain

one wants to hold hands

stairs lift arch ah

a partridge cedar peace

love is better among

trees nod, lift cherish day

oh home, if you ask, yes

home cord round wove trail

stairs through arch halls

pause balcony and feel tree

bloom calm elk, mallard flight

if humans were hummingbirds

here is nectar

intake a flow of room, soft silk air

a good place

is a place that makes it easier to love

and rose trees grow

steps of fern smile joy us grass

wings in hand arch window

trees sing day we hold

flow of flower rooms weave

this description of hope

windows reflect calm

clouds soar hug

our days yearn love

we always have words

some are sighs of no form

at the start arms open
